Hakka House is a hidden gem with great vibes for authentic Taiwanese comfort food. I ordered the…read moreTaiwanese Beef Noodle Soup along with the Braised Beef Tendon and Beef Brisket, and both dishes were outstanding. The broth in the noodle soup was rich, flavorful, and clearly simmered with care, while the beef was tender and packed with flavor. The braised tendon and brisket were equally impressive, perfectly cooked with that melt-in-your-mouth texture you hope for in a traditional Taiwanese dish. What really made the experience special was the owner, who is from Taiwan and incredibly friendly and welcoming. You can tell there is a lot of pride and authenticity behind the food. The portions were very generous, especially considering the fair prices, making it one of the best values I've found for Taiwanese cuisine. If you're looking for authentic flavors, hearty portions, and warm hospitality, Hakka House is absolutely worth a visit. I'll definitely be coming back to try more of the menu.

This place has officially become a new favorite for my family. Almost every single dish we tried…read morewas fantastic. The only one I wouldn't bother with is the wonton soup, the broth was extremely bland, and the wontons tasted heavily of celery. If you're a celery fan, you might enjoy it, but if not, definitely skip it. Everything else, though, was genuinely impressive. The tofu dish came out sizzling hot with great flavor, and every plate we ordered hit the mark. As far as the interior, Hard to believe this used to be a Mexican restaurant, you'd never guess from how polished and inviting it feels now. Remodel looked great. Old place was darker vibe and this is much lighter. The servers were wonderful too. There were plenty of them, they took great care of us, and they walked us through the menu since it was our first visit. My kids have already asked when we can come back, which says it all.

Love this place. One of my favorite katsu places, including some I visited in Japan. I'm usually…read morenot a fan of tonkatsu sauce, but the sauce here is the best i've had, especially if you mix it with sesame seeds they give you to bring, The sesame dressing for the cabbage is also very good. I've only gotten the standard pork katsu so far, but I imagine their other offerings likely elevate things even more. The staff here is amazing. They are nice, friendly, and very efficient at their work. All of them, not just the servers but busers, janitor, cooks, everyone. The owner and managers must be very good at selecting the right staff and training them well. As an example, when I pulled out my credit card to pay, a server was there in literally 3 seconds to present me the bill. The restaurant is very cozy and not too loud. There is often a line here, but don't let that deter you. It moves fast, and people in line seem to be having fun. This is definitely on my list of one of my favorite restaurants in the Seattle area.

Excellent food in a charming atmosphere. Portions are huge and the food came quickly. Most of the…read moreoptions are deep-fried. They have no vegetarian choices. Feels very different than your typical Japanese restaurant as the focus is on Katsu. Food quality, and quantity was excellent as was the service. Booths are feeling old and shabby with tape repairs. I recommend parking across the street at Bear Creek Village as there are only a few spots in their lot.

Shaburina is our go to hot pot. Their broth is always so tasty, they have a free buffet, and their…read moresauce buffet is elite! We have tried other places but we keep coming back to shaburina because the service is always amazing and the food is great. They have added tablets at every table to order food, drinks, or refills. It's super easy to use and definitely a game changer. Only sad part is they now serve ice cream in a disposable cup rather than a cone. I hope they were just out of cones and this isn't a permanent change.

I'm torn between a 3 & 4 because the food is always good…read more We frequent often and love the food and have never had bad service until the night that mattered. My son graduated and I made reservations here in advance and called to ask about a table for 10, and if they could accommodate us and they said they could. Great! And I separately called about wanting to bring cupcakes and if that was allowed and they were cool with that, so super! It is one of my son's favorite spots so when the evening arrived, we got to the restaurant only to be led to a table that seated 6 in one corner and 4 kitty corner from that table. So...a family gathering had to be split, with 4 of us not even being at the same table as my son-including me. Mom. And in order to be close to him I sat with my back turned from him. Not ideal at all. So I was definitely miffed by this. I approached someone about it-not sure if he's the manager or not but he was very apologetic about it and said that they don't have seating for 10 at one table. But they tried their best by putting us all in the corner together. Not the same thing unfortunately as we could not all celebrate or converse all together. I told him that I had called specifically asking if they could accommodate 10 and I was assured they could but I did not know I had to ask "at the same table?". They should have been forthcoming that it would be at two different tables otherwise I would have made a reservation elsewhere for the celebration. What could I do but just accept his apology? But then, with a party of 10, I would think we would get extra attention but I guess since tip is already included after 5 in a party, they just called it in because I had to ask for more plates, more napkins, spoons, & water because the setting at the table was for 2, and we had 4. No one even asked us if we needed any more broth nor did they ever come to ask if anyone wanted a refill of the AYCE meats. Not that we could eat anymore but no one even offered. And, since everyone had to order the same meat plates, and one person wanted the wagyu, we all had to get wagyu at our table. Doesn't seem fair to me especially when they don't even offer more but I guess that's policy. When my son and I come in by ourselves, they are very attentive and always ask us if we need more of anything. But it was hard to find anyone to come to our table. They never checked on us after they brought the broth and meats the one time. So let me say I was very upset that the tip was included because really, no one served us unless we asked for more things. No one checked on us. Then I had to go and find someone so we could pay our bill. They apologized again for not seating us together but what could I say at that point? I'm not going to make a scene but it ruined a special night when all of the family couldn't sit together. Very disappointed with this visit especially when it's one of our fave places and we frequent it often and spent a good amount of $ that night with 10 people.

Parking is reasonably easy The burger menu can get a bit over-whelming. The many options get a bit too fancy for me to be honest. But I can manage. Food is tasty here. I tend to let my wife order for me so she can scratch all the craving itches she might have during our meal here. I had one gripe about my meal. I upgraded to onion rings to my order. My order included four onion rights. Compared to the amount of fries my wife got with her meal, I thought the amount of onions rings in my order was on the side of too few. Oh wells. We will still continue to come here regardless of the amount of onions included in the meal.
